Dr. BJ's Salon Shut Down By Authorities in Bangkok...

Stickboy Bangkok reports that the Dr. BJ’s chain of sex shops in downtown Bangkok have
been shutdown this week by authorities after a two-year-old article detailing
what takes place inside these venues was widely shared on Thai social media
last week and soon picked up by the mainstream news.

Dr BJ’s
Salon opened on Sukhumvit Soi 7/1 back in September 2011 and soon had sister
shops such as Dr BJ’s Nuru and Dr BJ’s Budget Bangers spring up around it in
the same small soi.

Take a walk
down the 7/1 today and you would see no trace of Dr BJ’s existence. Everything
is gone with workmen in the shell of a shophouse stripping it bare and painting
over anything and everything. All the signs outside have been thrown in the
back of a pickup and taken away.

Raids in recent months seen temporary closures but it was
soon back to business as usual at the houses of oral relief until the old Vice
article from July 2014, “I Went to a Blowjob Bar in Bangkok, Thailand” began to
spread on many popular Thai Facebook pages and groups the week before last with
all the outrage and disgust you can imagine in the comments.
